Rose Barbare

Which Should You Buy?
This Givenchy gem is a true force of nature - a sexy, confident, rose-patchouli bomb that's adored by its fans. Skip the office, this is for making an entrance.
Divisive, polarising - Rose Barbare is either a masterpiece of elegant, honeyed rose or a dated, aldehydic 'old lady' scent. It's a challenging, refined floral for those who appreciate a classic, almost vintage, character.
